Abstract: A paint roller frame and plastic cage assembly, the cage assembly comprising a plurality of circumferentially spaced, axially extending support rails joined together at their ends by inboard and outboard end caps and also intermediate their ends by one or more annular support members. The cage assembly is mounted for limited axial movement in opposite directions on the roller frame shaft, during which cam members on the radial inner walls of radially movable portions of the cage assembly move into and out of engagement with an outer surface of one or more hub assemblies mounted on the shaft. Engagement of the cam members with the hub assemblies causes the radially movable portions to move radially outwardly into frictional engagement with a roller cover when inserted over the cage assembly.

Title: Video camera imager and imager ic capable of plural kinds of double-image processings
Inventor: SUBE MAKOTO
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 2002-01-30
Granted: 2004-06-29
Abstract: An inventive video camera imager supports an interlace scan mode, a dynamic range-widening scan (WS) mode and a sequential scan mode with a limited amount of circuitry. For this, a WS image signal of 2N lines and a sequential scan image signal of 2N lines (N is the number of scan lines of an image to be obtained) is used. Every other line of WS image signal is longer in exposure time than adjacent lines of the WS image signal. A simplified imager may support only interlace scan mode and sequential scan mode, or may support only WS mode and sequential scan mode.

Abstract: This invention relates to human medicine, and particularly to a pharmaceutical composition comprising Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and a Growth Hormone secretagogue hexapeptide (GHRP-6); being useful to prevent tissue damages due to blood flow suppression and to enhance tissue repair following ischaemic damage. Alternatively, a subject may also receive both EGF and GHRP-6 separately but within a single therapeutic regime to enhance cellular survival when organs are subjected to blood flow deprivation for a critical period of time. This composition attenuates reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and its associated cytotoxicity. It is useful to promote cellular survival when tissues or organs are exposed to prolonged ischaemic periods. The composition may be used as a prophylactic agent in those subjects prone to multiple organ failure (MOF) such as burn victims, multiple trauma patients, hypoxic neonates, patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, and necrotizing enterocolitis patients.

Granted: 2008-11-25
Abstract: Impact attenuating devices (1) for vehicles (5) with frame side members (9) are used in e.g. roadwork areas to protect road-users, men at work and equipment. The attenuator (1) is connected at the rear or front end of a vehicle (5) which is placed behind or in front of a roadwork. A vehicle havi ng not noticed the roadwork runs into the attenuator (1) which catches the vehicle. To be able to attenuate the great forces arising in collisions, the attenuator (1) must be long and fixedly connected to the vehicle (5) . This makes it difficult to transport, and a long overhang easily sweeps outside t he own lane when driving through curves, The object of the invention is to provide an attenuator (1) which is easy to transport between the roadwork areas. A vehicle (5), usually a lorry, with frame side members (9) is connected to an attenuator (1) comprising an attenuating part (3), wheels (4 ) and a connecting part (2). The connecting part (2) connects the device (1) t o the vehicle (5) either in an operating position or in a transport position. To be able to transport the attenuator (1) between different roadwork areas in a manner safe for traffic, the impact attenuating device (1) is connected like a trailer to the vehicle (5).

Another aspect includes selecting one of a plurality of coding modes (1) resulting in no more than a selected number of coded bits, or (2) having at least a selected image quality, or (3) having a combination of number of coded bits and image quality. Another aspect includes selecting, as a preferred coding mode, one of a plurality of coding modes having a selected combination of number of coded bits and image quality based on various AC and DC motion vectors. Another aspect includes selecting, as a preferred frame coding choice, one of a plurality of frame coding choices having a selected combination of number of coded bits and image quality. The number of coded bits can also be determined for a set of selected quantization parameter (QP) values or quantization frequency weighting matrices, for each frame coding choice. This approach may also be used to select a preferred QP value or quantization frequency weighting matrix.
